If I could give ZERO stars, I would. I went in expecting a simple filling repair. Instead, I walked out feeling like my tooth had been butchered. A shocking amount of healthy tooth structure was filed away for what should have been a routine procedure. When the filling was finally completed, I couldn't even floss because excess composite had been left packed between my teeth, essentially cementing them together. I had to be seated again so it could be corrected, and somehow the repair only became more of a mess. My gums were bleeding afterward, something that virtually never happens to me. I take exceptional care of my teeth and have invested thousands of dollars preserving them over the years. I did not come here with neglected dental health. I came here with a filling that needed repair. I left worried that this appointment may ultimately cost me a root canal and crown. The glowing reviews convinced me to come here even though the place looked sketchy as hell. I genuinely cannot reconcile those reviews with the care I received. My experience was the complete opposite of "excellent work." I am horrified! One final detail that made the experience even more unpleasant: when the dentist briefly removed his mask, his breath was overwhelmingly foul. This office took a straightforward problem and turned it into one that may require far more extensive treatment. I would never trust this practice with another tooth, and I strongly encourage anyone who values their dental health to think twice before making an appointment. read more

I love that they make time for you and they don't give you the upsell or run for your money. Even if you don't have an appointment they see you. The dentist has a good personality. He isn't rough with his hands and makes sure you aren't in pain or uncomfortable. They work with your insurance. They always make sure you are going to your appointment by sending you a call or text. I'm happy with the service. read more

Great experience! They won't let you get a treatment that they know you'll be wasting your money on. Very straight forward and fast. Everyone is very nice and approachable. read more

Good experience but the location is ugly there is graffiti all over the location. I really recommend that they fix that it's a real eye sore. read more

They are very nice and take great care of my grandkids. The dentist fixed my grandson's front tooth that was broken in half and it looks great! read more

New staff is beyond Amazing ! I had moved to College Street Dental & was never able to get my cleanings done until I got my wisdom teeth removed per the dr there & after calling over 3 weeks trying to get an appointment I have yet to receive a call back. I even had to visit the ER because my tooth got infected ! I called Apple Dental & was able to get a next day appointment, Dr Han did my cleaning & gave me my referral! I'm so relived and happy with their service ! 100% recommend, I regret not staying with them & having to deal with unnecessary stress! read more

The office is not fancy, but don't let that fool you. The dentist here is honest. He's not going to recommend treatments if you don't need it. By far the best I've been to. My son recently transferred to this location last week for a filling that fell out and needed to be replaced. He was seen within an hour of transferring from another office and had his cavity filling replaced quickly. He came back home happy he made to switch to this place. They don't over book, so when you go in you are seen right away. read more

I've never had a good experience at any dental office. With that said, finding the right dentist that cares and has patience for dental fearing people like myself is extremely important. Dr. Minn and his staff made my first visit at Apple Dental extremely smooth, welcoming, and painless. I actually left hugging Dr. Minn, great dentist and such a nice kind human being! If your not local, this dentist office is definitely worth the drive!!! The staff are a rare find, genuinely warm caring people. Highly recommend!! read more

This office is great! Dr. Min is an amazing dentist! I really don't enjoy going to the dentist, but I don't mind going to see Dr. Min read more

During my first visit I did not receive a scan of my teeth and the observing and cleaning of my teeth lasted not more than 5 minutes. My gums were not checked for their strength by pricking them with a sharp tooth. In addition, they told me I had 3 cavities but had to call me back to schedule because they didn't know if my insurance would cover it. It has been a week and no callback still. I am concerned I may have a root canals because they still haven't called me back. My rating is because I don't believe they did a good job assessing and cleaning my teeth neither did they call me back to schedule the fill in a timely manner. Also, the location is in a bit of a dirty area. read more

Switched to this dental office recently. They are not the most welcoming office but they definitely made me feel comfortable and in good hands! I think I can trust them and I will stay with them read more

I have been a patient of Dr Min for over 10 years He is Amazing!Very patient,Gentle and professional! He always answers all my questions he will never recommend a treatment I don't need. He actually cares about his patients! read more

Dr and his team are so AMAZING! He is gentle and kind, gets to know his patients and relieves any anxiety. He genuinely can give pain medication without you feeling it and gets you in if necissary. I can't believe how amazing he really is. I am certainly grateful for having such a gifted dentist. He is great with my kids and they do not have a fear of dentist. He truly is a great Dr who cares for his patients well! Nichole Barlow read more

More than a five-star experience. I came here on the recommendation of a very satisfied patient of Dr. Min. So very happy to have found this place. Sandra at the front desk is sweet, kind and professional. The doctor's chair-side manner is gentle and oh so calming. I actually overheard him successfully easing the fears of a very nervous child in the next room. SOLD!!! I am convinced that he won't recommend unnecessary procedures - AND I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort from the numbing injection to the filling and the placement of my temporary crown. Although I have no fear of dentists, I would highly recommend him to those of you who have a fear of dentists. I am a very, very happy patient. Will keep you updated. read more

I just love love love Apple Dental. Dr Derek Min is upfront and knows exactly what he is doing. You will never think twice of going to your dental visits again Dr Min is gentle . I've been going to Dr. Min's dental office for years . Receptionist and assistants are very helpful and sweet. I would definitely recommend Apple Dental. Thanks Dr. Min. Silvia Martinez read more

I been coming here since late 90's he is the best dentist. He really cares about your teeth, he never takes advantage of your insurance. Very honest dentist and tells you how to care for your teeth. Dentist like him are very few, he's the best! read more

I've had my share of bad experiences with several dentist offices in the SoCal area, and must say Apple Dental has restored my trust in a dentist. At my first visit I was surprised at how attentive Dr. Min was. He took the time to explain what my issues were and what our options would be. He even took time to go over basic dental hygiene techniques. And believe me, you may think you are brushing correctly but you're not! He's also pretty punctual and so far I've never waited more than 10 minutes past my appointment time. The dental assistant is professional and her and the Dr. work well together. The receptionist is always friendly and willing to go above and beyond what she has to do. She will greet you by name and always asks how you are doing. Overall, this place is amazing. You always leave with your mouth in great condition and the knowledge that whatever you needed was taken care of. If you're unsure about coming here, just do it! You will not regret it. read more

Haven't been to the dentist in 8+ years because of a phobia I have with having to go to the dentist. I can safely say Dr. Derek and Janea made it comfortable for me and I'm very grateful for that! read more

I would give these people a zero star if I could. My husband and I have moved to California from the UK and this is the first time I have organised a dentist through insurance. Having spoken to a few dentists locally who were happy to speak to my insurers to check the eligibility of our plan, these people at Apple were not at all helpful and clearly do not want our business! Not only did the receptionist I spoke to get my all three of my name, phone number and address incorrect and need it repeating several times, she acted like she was only half listening to me on both phone calls I had with her. When eventually I persuaded her to call my insurers because I was unable to, she returned my call (she made it clear with her tone that she was doing me a huge favour) and then gave me a load of attitude, saying she had "said her piece" to me and wasn't willing to do any more. I felt like she jumped down my throat, she was really unhelpful and rude. Wow, I'm glad I didn't go for this company, I wouldn't want to give my money or risk my health with people who have so little time and courtesy for those trying to give them their business. Like the other reviewer says, I think respect is an issue for this company. Avoid. read more

My wife called days ahead to schedule an appointment and provide insurance information. The scheduled appointment was made for 4 PM. I was there they filled out the paper work in not time and it was 4:20 am I am still waiting....long story short Respect is reciprocal. If physicians are on time, patients will be on time. This place needs to hired professional staff at the reception desk that can address problem respectfully and are driven by customer care. that girl Cristal has none of that. read more

I'm surprised this place doesn't have many good reviews. I recently started coming here last month and I have been very satisfied with my treatment. The dentist is great! He takes the time to explain the procedure and is very thorough with his work. He's also friendly ! Plus his receptionist is super welcoming and Helpful overall my experience here has been great and I would recommend this place to others looking for a dentist near by. read more

Man, those nurses shouldn't be working, period. They need to take some customer service classes cause they are just worst nurses in the area! When patients calls in, you know what they said over the phone?! With an attitude, they said 'We don't know you. We don't know anyone under ***.' WTF?! They are treating patients like annoying tellermarketers! Don't know why the doctor is keeping them. Either he has no clue at all or he just not paying attention to the circumstances. read more

I recommend this dental office to Everyone! This doctor is honest and will not lie to make money. The doctor is honest, kind and gentle. My sister was lucky enough to find this office on Yelp and recommended. Now I come here and just recommend my son to come here too. We are ALL so so happy!! If you don't need fillings he will tell you that you don't need them not like other dentist that just want your money or money from insurance. I will continue my dental care here for as long as I live. Also, staff really friendly. Thank you!!!!! read more

I've gone to a few dentist, but none were as good as him. The man has the softest hands and literally did not deliver any pain. PAIN FREE, what else can you ask for. He even explained the whole process to me, which put me at ease. Highly recommend him. read more

I a very shock that this place does not have great reviews?? I have had nothing but great experiences here. The doctor is very honest and to the point the girls are very helpful and nice. If I could I would give them 10 stars, I had a horror experience before coming here and they made me feel at easy again where I can trust a dentist. Don't be fool by this other reviews I had this dentist for the past years and had to change due to my insurance benefits but glad I am once aboard again!! read more

Dr. Min knows what he is doing. You are in good hands when you enter his office. And when he says you need something done, you can believe him. Because sometimes I feel certain dental offices will try to say you need things done to get more money in their pockets. Every time I've gone in his staff is courteous and friendly and have always been helpful if I had questions or concerns. I was/am a big chicken (yes, I still shed tears in the dentist chair) and Dr. Min listened to my worries and made sure I was always comfortable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I recently moved far away and I am still willing to make the journey. read more

Best experience I have had with a dentist. He didn't try to sell me anything "extra" and gave me a great price for the work I need. I highly recommend Apple Dental read more

Dr. Min is a fantastic dentist, I have been coming to him since I was 3 years old and I'm now 20. Even after moving out of Azusa years ago, we continue to go to Apple Dental due to their incredible patient care.

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Min and his staff at Apple Dental for an exceptional dental care experience. read more

I went here due to the good reviews and it didn't live up to it at all. I've always had a fear of the dentist and this guy certainly didn't help with that. I ended up having to get a filling and granted, the shot wasn't felt (only reason it's 2 stars instead of 1), but prior to the shot I was quite scared and visibility nervous. I was told to either calm down or leave. It was done in a very cold manner and did nothing to ease my fear. Once I calmed down enough to his preference, I got 2 shots and I could still feel it so asked for more anesthetic. He refused to give any more so I decided to try to continue the drilling, which was easily the most painful dental moment of my life for the couple seconds before I couldn't take it anymore. I was in tears from the pain and he still decided I wasn't in need of any more shots. He gave me a temporary filling (just putting putty in the cavity) and without any explanation walked into the back and shut the door and never came out to explain anything to me. The receptionist then had to be the one explain to me that I would have to go elsewhere to get my filling finished. Overall, don't go here if you are scared or have a high tolerance for anesthesia shots. read more

I had a great experience!! I needed a new tooth, and well, the dentist gave me a great one!! Now I can smile again and feel confident everywhere I go. The doctor's hands are that of an angel and the receptionist, named Sandra was just the sweetest, welcoming young lady! Being a lady myself I couldn't help but notice how well put together she was! I couldn't have had a better experience! I can't wait to go back and continue having my teeth treated with ease and care. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a dentist that'll make you feel like you're not getting your mouth ripped apart but being taken care of gingerly! read more

AMAZING customer service. From the lobby, to the dental assistant, and finally the dentist. I felt comfortable during the entire consultation process and I look forward to gettIng more work done this year read more

First time at Apple Dental I'm a very nervous person. I don't like to go to the dentist. Dr. Min was very nice and kind to me he let me know he wouldn't hurt me and not I will feel pain.

I had multiple fillings done in the past month. The first 3 fillings were done well and professional. I wanted to get 2 more fillings done and i let him know what teeth i wanted done. He decided to do 2 other fillings instead and not the ones i requested. I let him know this,but he explained that the other teeth were in worse shape. He didnt let me know he wanted to work on other teeth and just did it. I cant trust him anymore after this. I will stop coming here. read more

Went to Apple Dental today as a referral from my insurance and received excellent service! The receptionist and dental assistant were VERY nice. Dr.Min did a deep cleaning on my teeth with no numbing, very gentle hands. He explained what needed to be done to my teeth and maintenance without being pushy and trying to sell me extra services. He also gave me a little education and was very sincere. Would highly recommend! I'll be back in 6 months! read more
